Crappy Crap Crap.......2006-02-17
This is a perfect example of why "Chicano" literature took so long to catch on. America had to wait until its population was saturated with the Mexican filth. This use of hispanic language is this book was distracting and gratuitous; however, the most disturbing part of the novel was the incessant mention of some act of incest between Sonny, the stories protagonist, and his first cousing. Please excuse me while I vomit. I want to defecate on this book before I turn it back in to the library.
Best of Chicano Literature, for Chicanos.......2003-05-31
I strongly recommend this author and particularly this book. However, care should be taken when reading Some background in spanish is recommended since author likes to throw in a bit of "Spanglish" in,Englis, and Spanish mix, expecting that readers will catch on. A most interesting character Sonny Baca, its very refreshing to read about Latino heros, which go unmention in American Literature.
Rio Grande Fall review.......2002-10-28
Rio Grande Fall is one of my favorite mystery books. The characters are unique and likable, the plot is captivating, and the story is full of the Spanish language and myth that Rudolpho Anaya is known for.
Sonny Baca is an investigator living in New Mexico who journeys into the world of the supernatural during a murder investigation. Through the help of his loving girlfriend and an enchanting curandera he finds the answers he seeks regarding the murder case and his inner self. The action in the book is guided by the existance of mystical beings; An intriguing plot is joined with Catholicism and the spirits of the earth to create an original type of mystery novel.
Rudolfo Anaya's vivid portrayal of Mexican culture and heritage, along with beautiful imagery and, a thrilling mystery plot, ensure the Sonny Baca series to be a long lived one.
Magical Mystery Tour.......2001-12-07
This second book by Anaya, regarding the adventures of his detective hero Sonny Baca and his companion Rita, has wonderful contrasts between the three layers of culture in the Rio Grande valley in New Mexico. We are shown the modern American culture in the setting of this novel during the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, where we encounter modern life and modern villains and some heros as well, even among that modern phenomenon of a homeless population. The Hispanic culture is included in the cantina, the bar, knife fights, and gun battles in the predominantly Spanish barrios in parts of Albuquerque, as well as in the Church of San Felipe de Neri. This book is most appealing in the poetic beauty that Anaya brings to this complex tale by carrying the story deeper into the magical thinking of the mysterious culture of the Native Americans. Anaya brings the magical fantasies in slowly but reaches a grand climax in the heroic battle of good versus evil as if it were out of a Navajo legend. It is great fun to go on such a fast tour through these different cultures. In the end, it leaves you with a greater appreciation of the unreal beauty of the Native American cultures. It is helpful, but not essential, to know a little bit of Spanish to understand the brief interchanges in Spanish between some of the characters. This use of Spanish is at a basic level and never too taxing, since Anaya often explains the action also in English.
Sonny Baca and Raven square off for Round 2!.......2000-09-06
Rio Grande Fall is the second novel featuring the resourceful Alburquerque private eye, Sonny Baca. Rita, Lorenza, Turco, Don Elesio, Howard, and the rest of the unforgetable characters from Zia Summer are featured and so is the diabolical eco-terrorist, Raven!
The Hot Air Balloon Festival of Alburquerque is in danger of being cancelled unless Sonny Baca can figure out who is responsible for the murder of two balloon pilots. It doesn't take Sonny long to realize that his arch rival, Raven is responsible, but Raven has more on his agenda than just vengance. A beautifully written novel with suspense and surprises all set in the mysteriously charming state of New Mexico.
Not as good as Zia Summer, but an enjoyable sequel nontheless!
Book Description
Private Rio features the most spectacular homes in one of the most breathtaking cities in the world: Rio de Janeiro. This sumptuous volume includes the Imperial Palace in the Petropolis district. Built following Napoleon's conquest of Portugal when the court was moved to Brazil, this is now the home of Prince Dom Pedro Gastao de Orleans e Braganca, heir to the throne of Brazil, and his wife, Dona Esperanza de Borbon, the aunt of King Juan Carlos of Spain. The Carneiro de Mondonca house, a neoclassical gem, is still inhabited by members of the family that built it in 1843. Also featured are the homes of Roberto and Lily Marinhosas, the media mogul whose garden is famous for its rare plants and beautiful birds. There are many other houses included, some with gardens by renowned landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx.

Misleading Cover Photo.......2006-10-05
The architecture depicted in this book looks nothing like the example on the cover. It's more of a colonial feel , instead of the contemporary tropical that I hoped for.
Ravissant Rio de Janeiro.......2006-01-18
Private Rio is an extraordinary visual jaunt through private homes. If you're interested in interior design for a tropical climate, this is for you. The photos are lush, and the text and the history behind each house is quite detailed.
Pick it up for historical information, visual delight or just something pretty for your coffee table. You will not be disappointed.

Book Description
"[This book] is one I wish I had thirty years ago. Then, it was difficult to find suitable patterns and models for icons. Here (with Volumes I and II) are almost 400 tracings of antique icons that are not the 'classics' found in all albums of Russian icons, but rather represent iconography as it was known at the end of the nineteenth century when there was a 'return to basics.' At the beginning of the twentieth century, people did not know what classic Russian icons looked like. Genuine icons were not accessible since old icons were painted over or were locked away in royal churches and chapels. Many icons were covered with elaborate jeweled covers revealing only the faces and hands. These current volumes contain patterns which have been completely redone, 'translated,' if you will, to make them more useful. The originals were printed in reverse, without test or explanations, apart from the Russian titles. Explanations and commentary have been added.
"These drawings are not designed for icons. Rather, the Sketchbooks present an 'idea' as 'studio' books. They should be used with other resources, including the classic pattern books previously published by Oakwood Publications (e.g. An Iconographer's Patternbook; An Icon Painter's Notebook; The Painter's Manual of Dionysius of Fourna) and other texts such as The Icon: Image of the Invisible; The Image of God the Father in Orthodox Iconography and other readings. Most of the 'model' saints, St Blaise for example, are represented in this set and hopefully will be useful. I sincerely hope that this new edition of Postnikov and Tyulin collections will be an inspiration to my fellow icon painters and aid the painting of modern traditional orthodox icons." - Gregory Melnick

Good Book.......2007-04-21
This book has a lot of good sketches in it, and it seems to be organized in a sensible way. My only complaint is that they have a bunch of fantasy icons in it, which you only find out after looking through the text.
I also want Volume One...

Customer Reviews:
Misleading and inaccurate.......2005-05-25
This book is just a bit of fluff to get some money out of the odd popularity of Pope John Paul II. I quickly found at least one very erroneous statement in it. The book states that Pope John Paul I was a centrist and "was probably not going to be an innovator." Anyone who knows ANYTHING about Pope John Paul I knows that this is a totally absurd (and unimaginable) assessment of the man. A poll in Italy showed that many millions of Italians believe he was killed by someone in the Vatican precisely because Pope John Paul I was so revolutionary in his ideas about birth control, poverty, and the church's irresponsible dehumanization of gay people. Pope John Paul I was set to be the greatest innovator in the history of the Catholic church. So this book lost all credibility with me upon reading such an apparently intentionally misleading statement.
Beautiful!.......2005-05-19
A simply beautiful book that is truly a tribute to John Paul the Great. It made an excellent to gift for my mother and mother-in-law for Mother's Day.
IT'S OK......I GUESS.......2005-05-03
I only bought this commemorative issue of John Paul II because it was put out by "LIFE". It does have some beautiful photos of the Pope of which many are in black and white. Half the book is devoted to his life before he became the Pope. My only criticism is that not enough was devoted to his tenure as the most travelled Pope in history, i.e. not enough photographs of him with the crowds, touching the flesh so to speak. They could have included more photos of John Paul II among his flock, photos of him on a one on one basis. Also, I would have loved to see the inspirational stories of how he touched the lives of individuals. For those who are fond of JJP II I certainly would recommend other publications that are out there to complement your collection of memorabilia. Don't limit yourself to just this one.
Excellent Photographs.......2000-06-20
I loved this book. I thought the photos were very beautiful and touching. However, it was Bulfinch Press who published it, not New York Graphic Society.

Book Description
The story of the mother-and-daughter goddesses Demeter and Persephone has seized the imagination of people in every age, from ancient times to the present. Considered today by many to be the archetypal myth for women, it touches on timeless themes in every life, such as the male-female relationship, love between women, initiations into puberty and old age, the mother-daughter bond, death, and ecological renewal. Christine Downing has combined essays, prose, poetry, and even performance art with her own insightful commentary to shed new light on the myth's ancient meanings and to offer new insights in its implications for contemporary men and women.

Raised to be a committed Marxist by communist intellectual parents, Horowitz was in on the ground floor of Berkeley activism, and through his work as an editor at Ramparts magazine, he emerged as a key player in the New Left. He went on to become an active supporter of the Black Panthers and something of an intimate of their founder, Huey P. Newton. Yet today he is an outspoken political conservative who has supported many right-wing causes (such as the contras in Nicaragua) and been critical of '60s radicalism in general. It would be easy to conclude that Horowitz went from A to Z this way because he's superficial and unstable. Instead, as this moving, intellectual autobiography shows, his second thoughts about leftism emerged gradually as he experienced various aspects of the "Movement." The catalytic episode came when he discovered that the Panthers had murdered a friend of his, but even then Horowitz was slow to convert, primarily because he was heavily enmeshed in what he now views as the quintessential leftist habit of judging politics by its intentions, not its acts.

Sociopath Finds His True Calling.......2007-09-24
Don't be manipulated by former "liberals" who have found that there is more money in writing conservative books than liberal ones. There are rich and powerful foundations that will buy enough of a conservative writer's books in the first week to put him on the Bestseller lists. They will promote him if he is a good enough writer and make a bigtime television pundit out of him, pay him to speak at conservative conferences.
Horowitz was never a liberal.
Liberals can be born to conservatives and vice versa. Upbringing will have an effect as long as the born conservative sees his parents as authority figures. Later his true leanings will out, when he learns there are other richer and more powerful authorities than his parents.
David Horowitz reminds me a lot of Michael Savage, who was born a weiner and became a savage. Both are mean spirited sociopaths who conformed to the hippy fashion in the sixties. (Conservatives are born conformists.)
Then they realized where the money was.
Horowitz sees a beggar and automatically sees him as a con man like himself. He's the kind of guy who, but for fortune, would be cheating the government or pretending to be a cripple to get money. He projects his own sociopathic inner self onto the poor.
Partisan-city.......2007-09-20
Once a fanatic, always a fanatic. Horowitz. What're ya gonna do with this guy? One thing of worth to note about this book is that it's decent proof that the far left is actually equal to the far right. Or for you math fans, R = L. Sad, but true. Nobody has any discretion anymore. If only things were so black and white, huh? Then we wouldn't have to think at all.
Thank God for His Journey. .......2007-08-06
When I was a kid my dad only gave me one bit of political advice. He said, "Democrats care about the poor and Republicans only care about the rich." Fortunate it was that my father never lived to witness the development of my own political views--ones which turned out to be diametrically opposed to his own. The same cannot be said for David Horowitz whose autobiography, Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey , showcases a father and son relationship that once thrived, but nearly died, over the issue of politics. The author was a prodigy of governance and began his first civic project at the age of ten. He remains just as passionate about this subject today.
Horowitz was born in the enclave of Sunnyside Gardens in Long Island City. In public, its natives termed themselves "progressive," but the denizens of the block were actually, for the most part, communist. They held secret neighborhood cell meetings, and the Horowitz family hid their copies of The Works of J.V. Stalin and The Little Lenin Library in their basement. The radical son had an ardently radical childhood. His experiences were steeped in the ways of Marxism. In the summers he spent two weeks at Camp Wo-Chi-Ca; a facility that was about as American Indian in tradition as the city of Vladivostok. The name was but a communist deception. What it really stood for Workers Children's Camp.
It was from this radical pedigree that Horowitz's career sprung. He became a most unusual activist intellectual; one as devoted to scholarly rigor as he was the need for change. Given this eventuality, in retrospect his departure from the left was probably inevitable. No one devoted to the pursuit of truth can last very long in the swamps of postmodernism.
Radical Son is thoroughly a political memoir. The author's personal history is essential to the plot, but, without his political associations and remembrances, the story could not be told. The chapters are just as much a psychological study of the progressive mind as they are a study of the author's. The personal always was political to those people. The phrase was more than a vapid sixties cliché; it was the entire justification for a political movement.
Radical Son's scope is monumental as it encompasses some of the most tumultuous years in American history. Few writers could have successfully duplicated his feat as they would lack Horowitz's technical skills along with his passion for examination. A girl he once dated said of him, "You don't live an experience, because you're too busy analyzing it." Thank God for that or the undeniably hateful nature of these extremists would have gone undocumented.
Radical Son turns 10 this year and should be prized chiefly for the dividend the mental anguish of its author paid out. His battles and alienation from the left eventually delivered to the right a conservative son who now serves conservadom more faithfully and effectively than its own progeny. In How to Beat the Democrats and The Art of Political War he expounds on how to counteract the political theatre and papier-mâché idols of the left, but, sadly, few rightists appear to have studied his missives.
Radical Son is a personal story, but one whose ramifications benefit our country to this day. Yes, second thoughts are often best.
So... he is a FLIP FLOPPER?.......2007-07-03
DH drones on & on about his political flip flop... in which he was a liberal well into what I would call adulthood. DH then essentially 'sees the light' and blames his past politics on his parents. Sounds very mature... it is someone else's fault, not mine... my parents are worthy of zero respect even though they loved and raised me... and somehow it is OK for me to alter my political views from time to time, while it isn't acceptable for others. Didn't the entire right wing elect a president back in 2000 based on the idea that changing one's political views made you a horrible flip flopper? I guess if your audience is ready to buy it... you can sell them any sort of nonsensical drivel...
The Whittaker Chambers of our time.......2007-04-30
Horowitz was a red-diaper baby raised in NYC, his parents active Communist Party members who lost their jobs because of it in the 1950s. He became a leading Marxist intellectual, writer and scholar, influential with the budding New Left of the 1960s, and then the editor of the radical "Ramparts" Rolling-Stone-style magazine. He was one of the founders of SDS. A lot of left leaders found his early work inspirational, including the founders of Berkeley's Free Speech Movement in 1964 which began the radicalization of college campuses with numerous demonstrations. He became disillusioned with the left in the 1970s after the Black Panthers, who were lionized by the left, murdered one of his colleagues, a bookkeeper he'd recommended to them when he was their premier white adviser.
Horowitz became a conservative and has devoted his life since to debunking the popular left-approved version of what happened in the 1960s. He says that SDS was the effort to revive Communist organizing in the US, while detaching it from connections to the Soviet Union and the discredited US Communist Party, and was entirely begun by red-diaper babies like himself, young people raised as Communists by their Communist parents. The sole exception, he says, was Tom Hayden, whose raison d'etre as a socialist seemed to be the bottomless anger he felt for his father having been a drunk. Hayden confided to Horowitz that police brutality was the exact goal sought in radical disturbances such as the Democratic Convention riots in Chicago in 1968; having their heads beat in, he said, would radicalize people. I wonder how many easily-led college students of that era realize their leaders wanted them hurt?
Horowitz is the Whittaker Chambers of our generation. Chambers was the more compelling writer and had a more dire message which was utterly new when he wrote it: that we faced a worldwide epic battle between Communism and God, that God seemed to be losing, that the U.S. didn't seem to realize the world around it was slowly slipping away, and that American liberals were the "useful idiots" empowering a revolution that would ultimately consume them. But Horowitz, a good enough writer whose story intersects with many of the noted personalities and events of the 1960s and 1970s, is more relevant to the more recent New Left. He had a fabulous vantage point to recount how destructive it was and how hypocritical in rationalizing the crimes of those like the Panthers and the Weathermen. It dawned on him that a society permitting even revolutionaries such liberties, didn't deserve the contempt the Left heaped upon it. His own card-carrying parents ultimately had their firings reversed and pensions reinstated, after losing teaching jobs just shy of retirement, by the very fascist state they had worked so hard to overthrow.
Horowitz's entire education and writing career focused on worshipping the now dead God of Marxism; when he left it, he was leaving everything he had ever known. A brave move it was and here he tells the tale.

Russian equivalent to DeTocqueville's Democracy in America.......2006-02-24
Having read this book many times I can state that it is the source for many theories on Russian culture today. During the time it was written it was popular for the French aristocracy to travel throughout the world and write journals as to what they observed. This is obviously how DeTocqueville wrote Democracy in America (any first year poli sci student will know his work). Taking that as a baseline and then reading Journey for our Time you will be able to get a good look at the Russian mindset and better understand the troubles that are still plaqueing their peoples and nation.
Accurate and Disturbing.......2005-12-24
General Bedell Smith is one of the towering giants of World War II. Not only was he an effective combat commander, but he was the staff officer that made Marshall and Eisenhower as effective as they were in managing the United States first effort at taking the lead in a multi-national, world wide war against fascism. So when he recommends, "Journey for Our Time: The Russian Journals of the Marquis de Custine" as the definitive book on Russian culture, it carries some weight.
This book is very disturbing in at least two ways. First, the actual traits of Russian society which seem to be less than pleasing and have remained constant across imperial Russia, the USSR, and the modern Russian state. Second, the actual style of the book which cites the misfortunes of the "elite" in Russian society while actually blaming the average Russian as being the one making the bargain of freedom for conquest. It just goes to show one that the French Revolution can take the aristocrats out of France, but apparently nothing will take a love of the aristocracy out of the Frenchmen.
Ultimately, that is the point of this book. There are some cultures tend to have fundamental traits that change little over time regardless of the technological or political wrappings that are draped across them.
As Americans, we tend to believe that we are a collection of beliefs and that as such, nothing that fundamentally affects those beliefs is a permanent piece of our cultural identity. In the end, only an outsider can tell us if this is true.
Does de Custine have a message for us about 21st Century Russia? Sadly, the answer may be yes.
